The unexpected reunion
Years passed since that last show, while the cycle continued, while they buried their feelings deep in their hearts.
Tsukasa Tenma, now a successful 26-year-old actor, was in the big theater where his next play would eventually take place. Suddenly, the door opened to give way to one of those who would participate in the work.
- Nene?! -
- Tsukasa!? Are you also part of this play!? - It turns out that after 6 years without seeing each other, they had been selected for the same show.
- That's all for today! Remember to come tomorrow.- said the director, letting the actors pack their things. Tsukasa decided to approach Nene, after all, making up for lost time wouldn't hurt, right?
- Nene, how long!-
- You didn't change almost anything, Tenma...-
- I don't know if I can say the same about you... hehe! And how is everything going?
- Eh... let's say it's going well. My career improves more every day, I didn't think we would share this work together.-
- Believe me, me neither! And i less think of you playing my loyal companion in this amazing detective play.-
- It's incredible how we both came to be in Holywood...-
- And I'm glad it is like that!-
- Sometimes I wonder what would happen if you had never created WonderlandsxShowtime, or if we were still there... Ah! Forget it.- They both remained silent for a few seconds, could it be that they still haven't gotten over their separation?
- Well, it is true that the past cannot be changed. How long has it been since we got together? -
- Could it have been about... 6 years? -
- 6 YEARS?! DID WE LOST THAT MUCH? To think that after our separation we could only get together once and then not see each other again... - They both knew from their expressions that they really missed how things were before, despite now being successful. Tsukasa again broke the silence, and this time with a proposal.
- Nene, how about we go have something to eat at my house together? You know, make up for all the lost time, I'll invite you.-
- Huh... are you sure this is a good idea? Fans can sometimes be... wild. -
- Oh Nene, don't worry! In any case, it will be an intimate gathering at my house, and my bodyguards will protect us. - That's how they got into Tsukasa's limosin... their success was undoubtedly surprising, wherever you go, you would always find at least With a fan of his, in every shopping center you could find records of his music and posters of him and his upcoming shows. There was no doubt that Emu and Rui were right. Upon arrival, the house was immense, with a water fountain in the middle, with maximum security, with 4 extensive floors and a huge park.
- Ta-dah! This is my house.-
- Tsukasa... it's too big! Even more than that of Em- i mean, the Otoris...- Before mentioning that, another awkward silence interrupted them, for the third time. The fact that years ago they didn't know anything about each other between the four of them, and that nothing was like before... it was very painful.
- If only they were here... Ah! Come in, Nene.- And the inside of Tsukasa's house was much more incredible than the view of the house from the outside. Tsukasa was extremely millionaire! The two sat at the table while Tsukasa's employees brought them food. - Do you even have private chefs?!
- Of course, Nene. Everything has to be complete.-
- At least it's more normal than having posters of yourself everywhere...-
- Hey! What's wrong with it! I look fabulous in all of them. Oh, by the way, Nene, what have you been doing lately? How has everything been? -
- My career is getting better and better, thank you. I managed to gain some popularity, thanks to that, every day I have more and more job offers. I think this is my year, if not the next ones will be better.-
- That's great to hear! Ahem... Nene, if you like, I can give you the number of some good managers I've worked with, and of course, if you need help from me with anything, don't hesitate to tell me.-
- Tsukasa!... thank you. -
- By the way, do you know anything about Emu and Rui? I haven't seen them in so many years... let's say they keep me busy from here to there, hehe... - Until finally they stopped considering Rui and Emu as non-existent beings and someone dared to talk about them.
- Uh!... the truth is, I'm the same as you, I haven't seen them in years or know anything about them, I don't even have their contacts...-
- Don't you have them either, Nene?! ...-
- I wish I had them...- the awkward silence, again! How many more times will this happen?
- At least... I like that we met. If possible, I would like to go out with you more, like in the old days... Next time at your house!-
- Uh, i don't know. - They had not realized how many hours they had spent together, and Nene Finally he had to go. Tsukasa was lying on his comfortable bed, talking to himself.
- It feels like yesterday was the last time I saw Emu and Rui! - - I miss them... -
- No, no, Tsukasa, you're not going to ask your employees to find a way to contact them! They probably already got over it.
- If only I hadn't stopped talking to them... -
All this happened in Tsukasa's mind. It seems that loneliness was consuming him. The boy turned to look at his light table, his table of achievements. Something he hadn't realized was that his face was wet.
- Uh... I had forgotten that I had that photo. - The blonde took the old dusty photo with one of his hands, while with the other, he removed the dust from it, it was a photo of his friends.
- I miss them so much... At least I regained contact with Nene. -
- I wish things would go back to the way they were before... No, Tsukasa! You worked hard to be who you are now, you have everything you ever dreamed of! Fame, recognition, fans, posters... you are finally the big star you always wanted to be!-
- But... why?...-
- Why do I feel empty?-
